Hi Thanks, I just found I had an older version installed. I ran the last one and it saves a .TXT files when you check the box.

I run and Shapeoko pro and carbide motion doesnt show the toolname, only the toolnumber...

thanks anyway.

This is a handy tool. Just found it. Thanks, works great and hassle free. Just 1 question. Is there an option so I can print the pop up? or copy txt to wordpad and than print? As my working place for aspire is different than when I use the CNC. So I now have to write down manually toolnumbers and wh...

I am afraid it has to be by hand, at least thats what I am doing. The old tools are 'linked' to your old machines definition.
As probably V11 does not have that machine, the tools are unlinked (greyed) .

That was for me the case....

Indeed something changed, I agree. But I haven't done anything. Just upgraded and then opened an old file to change a little and when I wanted to edit the toolpath it was the case. I think my old machine def has gone. Thats the only thing I can think of? That it didnt take my old machine when upgrad...

Yeah, thanks. I know. What ever machine or material I choose it doesnt bring back the detail settings as I had them set. It always asks me to copy the settings, whatever machine is selected. So I can only bring them up again ungreyed by copying them from a standard setting. I then have to adapt all ...

I have upgraded to version 11.007. sofar so good.

It even took over my own tool database. BUT al my tools are greyed out now and missing the detail settings.

Any solution?

The drivers were up to date, thanks.

But apparently the setting use graphical tablet was set to YES, setting to NO did it for now.

Thanks Adrian.

I need 2 extra models anyway.

Thanks for helping sofar. rgds Hans.

Not likely. It came about when I started a whole new design and file in Aspire. I ran an imported file from Artcam (my previous design software) and that was ok. Before using Aspire I ran Artcam files on the machine and these never had the problem. So it doen't look like the control software. Thanks...
